Which principle of management is violated by Yogesh in the above case.

Centralization and decentralization

Centralization refers to concentration of decision-making authority, whereas decentralization refers to evenly distribution of authority at all levels of management. According to Fayol, “There is a need to balance subordinate involvement through decentralisation with managers’ retention of final authority through centralisation.” The degree of centralisation will depend upon the circumstances in which the company is working. In general large organisations have more decentralisation than small organisations.
